Appointments
For newborns, blue book checks or vaccines please book with our reception team on (02) 4237 7502 so they can book extra time with both your nurse and a GP.
Without the extra time our nurse might not be able to get all of your blue book checks, heights, weights or vaccinations done.
Please bring your child's blue book.
In exceptional circumstances sometimes Bulk billing for children and teens with complex needs or families with financial difficulties can be arranged. This is only after you pay for your first appointment. Please discuss this with your doctor.
